SAFETY-RAZOR ATTACHMENT Application filed September 13, 1928. Serial No. 305,781.

My invention relates to safety razors and refers more particularly to an attachment for standard safety razors.

One object of my invention is to provide an attachment applicable to a safety razor blade holder that will allow the use of blades in the safety razor holder other than the blade it was originally made for.

Another object of my invention is to provide a stop attachable to a standard safety razor blade holder that will hold a razor blade of substantially rectangularly shape positioned for its most effective use.

I attain these objectsby the means illus- 5 trated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1, is an assembly of a razor blade holder with the device applied illustrating the use of the blades on each side of the holder.

Figure 2, is a plan view of the device attached to a razor holder.

Figure 3, is an isometric view of the device.

Figure 4, is a' partial elevation of a standard razor blade holder illustrating the application of one blade only.

Figure 5, is a plan of a standard razor blade.

Figure 6, is a plan ofa chea simplified blade of the type used with this evice.

The razor 1, is comprised of an end piece 2, provided with a screw stud 3, and two tapered pins 4 and 5, said piece engaging with the razor holder body piece 6, with its slotted edges 7 and 8, and the screw stud 3, engaging with the nut 9, adapted to adjustably hold a razor blade 16, between the parts 2.and 6.

The adaptor piece 11, is comprised of a flat strip of metal with a central hole 12, and two holes 13 and 14, preferably tapered slightly and adapted to fit closely over the tapered pins 4 and 5, so that when the adapter piece 10, is adjusted in place, as shown in Figure 2, the tapered holes 13 and 14, will frictionally engage with the tapered pins 4 and 5, and the piece 11, will be firmly held positioned on the part The razor holder, in Figures 1 and 4, is shown only for-the purpose of illustration as it is obvious that the device shown in Figure in the back 17 of the blade 16, rests against the edge 18, and the sharpened edge 20, of the blade 16, Will be held just far enough from the edge 7, for the best shaving position.

Having thus described and illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention, I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construc-, tion or arrangementof parts shown, since itis evident that modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the claim.

I claim The combination in a safety razor of the class described,having a handle and guard and guide pins,

of an adaptor for narrow razor blades comprised of a rectangular plate with three holes engageable with said guide pins and having edges that are adapted to engage and co-act with the rear edges of single edged. blades the said adapter said blades positioned by and rigidly held by-the cooperative action of said handle and guard.
